I know, I know, so many bad reviews here, but... this movie has pushed the boundaries in so, so, so many important ways!!!!
1. AWESOMELY BAD PREMISE - the entire premise of this ridiculous movie is so flawed, so absolutely retarded, it's difficult to even comprehend how such an inane plot could have been green-lighted even as a play for a grade 3 classroom. Oh yes. An entire glacier shelf is heading to New York at several hundred miles per hour, freezing everything ahead of it. It's... stupefying. And, the military has declared war on it!
2. INCREDIBLY BAD SCRIPT - the quips and one-liners are on a whole new level. The things that spew out of these characters are... well... stupefying! They seem to defy any connection with the events surrounding them. You'll laugh! You'll actually LAUGH at half of this script, and when you're not laughing, you'll be breathless in anticipation of just how bad the next line will be!
3. UNPRECEDENTEDLY BAD EFFECTS - Yes, really... they actually ARE as bad as others here are commenting. They're bad! I'm pretty sure my PHONE has more processing power than they used for the CG scenes. Note to future filmmakers: allocate more than 20 minutes for your special effects time budget! They actually used shots of the Blue Angels doing aerobatics as stock footage of the Air Force attacking the glaciers! Not to mention the last few minutes where they actually CG their vehicle driving around, apparently because they had no budget for a few exterior shots of someone driving.
4. PATHETICALLY BAD ACTING - Okay, really I'm sure these people are capable of better, so I'm not claiming that they are bad ACTORS... it's just that with the obvious lack of direction for this movie I'm pretty sure they had no idea what was going on from scene to scene. They are all clichés, absolutely no originality in any of the portrayals. Not much more to say here... you have to see it to believe it!
5. HORRENDOUS CONTINUITY - La la la... driving down the road in vehicle A. Exterior shot, vehicle B. Back to interior, but now vehicle C. Exterior shot, 10 year older vehicle, slightly similar. Etc. The whole entire movie is like this, and the continuous re-use of even the most basic shots is absolutely comical. Did they not think we'd notice the same truck passing them and running over the same plastic bag? Several times? Within 2 minutes?
This movie is entertaining, but definitely not in the manner the producers intended. It's a great example of what happens when people who have no idea what they're doing try making a movie based on a bad idea, with a horrible script.
It's worth watching for free, ie. Netflix or something, just for the demonstration of inept and sloppy film-making.
PS: tires don't squeal on ice...
